Hi Birders,
We had more visitors than birds today, the first day of the banding season and
the annual RMBO BBQ with the Birds. It is time for the 90 degree weather to
end!
We banded Thursday and Friday as well (while orienting our banders for our
Western Slope and Nebraska stations). The highlight was a Bell’s Vireo,
captured on Thursday, we think a first for the station. Here’s the rundown for
the 3 days:
Western Wood-pewee 1
Willow Flycatcher 3
Hammond’s Flycatcher 2
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Bell’s Vireo 1
Cassin’s Vireo 1
House Wren 25
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Yellow Warbler 13
Townsend’s Warbler 1
Northern Waterthrush 1
Common Yellowthroat 3
Wilson’s Warbler 27
Yellow-breasted Chat 1
American Goldfinch 1
41 birds on Thurs, 25 on Fri, 18 on Sat.
The station with be closed Sunday (I have a last minute personal matter to
attend to) and Monday. Then open every day, Tuesday, 8/31 through Labor Day,
Monday, September 6. I will keep you posted through this listserve about birds
and schedule as the season progresses. You can also check the RMBO blog.
Looking forward to seeing you this fall!
